Abstract
The specification discloses a modular merchandising display system including a plurality of upright members, a plurality of lateral members interconnecting the upright members, and a plurality of decor strips releasably mounted on and encapsulating each upright member. Each decor strip includes two flexible sides, each of which is adjacent an edge of another decor strip on the upright member so that the upright members are hidden. The lateral members extend between adjacent sides, which flex to accommodate the lateral member.
Claims29
A modular support system comprising:
- an upright member;
- a plurality of elongated decor strips each including first and second flexible, margin portions terminating in first and second edges, respectively, said edges extending longitudinally of said strips, said decor strips being mounted on said upright member with each of said edges proximate an edge of another decor strip to hide said upright member, whereby a lateral member extending between a pair of proximate edges and secured to said upright member causes the margin portions associated with the pair of proximate edges to flex to receive the lateral member and to hide the connection of said upright member and the lateral member.
A modular support system comprising:
- an upright member;
- a plurality of elongated shrouds each including first and second flexible margin portions terminating in first and second edges, respectively, said edges extending longitudinally of said shrouds, said shrouds being releasably mounted on said upright member with each of said edges generally proximate an edge of another shroud to generally hide said upright member, each of said shrouds being fabricated of a dual durometer material including a first portion having a first durometer and a second portion having a second lower durometer, said second portion comprising said margin portions.
A modular support system comprising:
- an upright member;
- a plurality of elongated shrouds each including first and second edges extending longitudinally of said shrouds;
- a plurality of shroud clips mounted on said upright member, each of said shroud clips including means for releasably securing one of said shrouds, whereby said shrouds can be releasably mounted on said clips in edge-to-edge relation to generally hide said upright member.
A modular support system comprising:
- a tubular upright member generally octagonal in cross section, four alternating sides of said octagonal cross section including means for receiving lateral members, four other alternating sides of said octagonal cross section including means for receiving shroud means;
- and
- a plurality of shrouds each including first and second edges extending longitudinally of said shrouds, one of said shrouds being mounted on said shroud-receiving means on each of said four other sides of said upright member with each of said shroud edges proximate an edge of another shroud to hide said upright member.
